Welcome to Tip Compliance

TipCompliance.com wants to be your single source for hospitality and restaurant tip and gratuity compliance solutions and answers to tip pooling, tip sharing, or tip-out questions.

TipCompliance.com was created to provide restaurants, employers and staff of tip-based establishments with a single resource and forum for tip and gratuity related questions, available tip software solutions, implementation suggestions, and tip program support. The sponsors and participants are those whom believe that a dedication to tip compliance can result in a significant competitive advantage both for the operation and its employees without adding undue costs.

Tip Compliance was founded in 2007, and inspired by the sheer dearth of information, resources and tools available on the subject of restaurant tip tracking. Furthermore, it is clear that establishments would rather operate under the incorrect assumptions than solicit information from the IRS. Tip Compliance is dedicated to breaking down this information gap by providing a forum centered on education, sharing of information, tools, and experiences of it’s readers. I hope to introduce the reader to the true costs and benefits of implementing and maintaining an IRS compliant tip policy.

TipCompliance.com exists to serve you, to teach you, and to help you avoid the unnecessary frustration and heartache that comes with any IRS visit or audit. TipCompliance.com is positioned to be a highly collaborative forum, and as so, we must have a few rules of the road. What follows is a disclaimer that's aimed to protect everyone’s interest.
